Ukraine, EU prepare well for visa-free travel, number of entry denials for Ukrainians lower than 1%
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said Ukraine and the European Union have prepared well for the introduction of the visa-free travel for Ukrainians, and the number of entry denials for Ukrainians was less than 1%.
"The number of rejections only due to some technical issues is very low, much lower than 1%. That means that Ukraine and the European Union had prepared themselves very well to June 11, when the visa-free travel was launched," Poroshenko said at a joint press conference with EU Council President Donald Tusk and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, when answering a question from an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent.
He also praised the well-organized work of the border services of EU member states.
"As the president of Ukraine, I am completely happy with how this first visa-free month has passed and I thank our European partners for that," Poroshenko added.
